Hume have taken out the 2021 women\u2019s Premier League title, while Royal South Yarra are this year\u2019s Premier League men\u2019s champions.<\/p>\n
Hume claimed the women\u2019s division after defeating a valiant Royal South Yarra 2-1. While Erica Layton got Royal South Yarra off to a good start with a commanding straight set win over Erin Maguire, Hume\u2019s doubles duo Jemma Carbis and Darcy Parke quickly levelled the score from a set down in a 3-6, 6-3, 10-8 nail-biter.<\/p>\n
It all came down to the decider and Hume\u2019s Leann Serna, the 2021 Women\u2019s Ace Award winner, left it all on the court to earn a 7-6, 6-1 victory over Varatchaya Pias Wongteanchai. After a tight first set, Serna took control in the second and proved too good for her opponent<\/p>\n
In the men\u2019s division, Royal South Yarra claimed this year\u2019s title after defeating the defending champions 2-1. Andrew Whittington and Daniel Byrnes gave Kooyong the early lead with a 6-1, 6-1 masterclass over Aaron Leeder-Chard and Jarryd Maher, but Royal South Yarra hit right back to level the score after Jason Kubler defeated Omar Jasika in straight sets.<\/p>\n
With the 2021 title on the line Luke Saville stood tall with a 7-6, 6-2 victory over Jacob Grills. Much like the women\u2019s decider, it was a hard-fought first set but a dominant second sealed Saville\u2019s victory.<\/p>\n
That brings an end to an exceptional Premier League and we can\u2019t wait to do it all again in 2022!<\/p>\n
